The AfD Saxony-Anhalt is the state association of the Alternative for Germany (AfD) party in the state of Saxony-Anhalt. The state association is led by the member of parliament Martin Reichardt as state chairman.[1] With André Poggenburg as the top candidate, the AfD Sachsen-Anhalt ran for the first time in a state election in 2016 and subsequently represented the second largest parliamentary group in the seventh state parliament of Saxony-Anhalt.
In January 2021, the State Office for the Protection of the Constitution in Saxony-Anhalt classified the state association as a suspected right-wing extremist.[2] In November 2023, the state association was classified as a “definite right-wing extremist effort”.[3] This classification gives the State Office for the Protection of the Constitution in Saxony-Anhalt broader discretion in using intelligence efforts to monitor the group.
The AfD parliamentary group in the state parliament of Saxony-Anhalt called for a demonstration in Magdeburg at the end of January 2022 against the CORONA protective measures. It remained unclear whether the AfD Saxony-Anhalt or the AfD parliamentary group organized and financed the demonstration. The faction receives state money and is therefore forbidden to finance political events.[4]
In the recent Landtag of Saxony-Anhalt the AfD fraction consist of 2 women and 21 men:
